Whilst in Florence (Firenze) Ros & Andrew picked out the closest Club to where they were staying. RC Certosa were only a 20 minute walk from the centre of the old city.
Harry's Bar seemed to be "international enough", however only a few of the Members could converse in English!
They actually missed the booking date, but were allowed at late notice to attend.
Not a cheap night, €55 each, however this included drinks, a 3 course meal, and the star event - Opera!
The Club's guests were the from the Academy of Music, May Fiorentino - the Director, two singers and a pianist!
A glass of Prosecco on entry enabled conversations with those who they could understand.
Ros and Andrew were invited to sit at a table where the members had good English skills, this made the evening far more palatable.
In addition to the opera, one of the Club Members was presented with a Rotary award - not quite sure what!
It was a long evening, not finishing until 2300, and then a walk back through the winding streets.
